When Lightning Starts
If you like R.E.M. you’re gonna dig this. If you like late 60’s psychedelic pop ala Strawberry Alarm Clock and REM, you will love this. A progenitor of Belle & Sebastian with a lot more energy this is on the early edge of twee. I can’t help it, I like it.
In the early 2000s there was an ad hoc, slapped together Silverlake band called Irving. Their record was retro twee with deep roots in this kind of pop and, to me, it was the first voices of the millennial generation, (“Did I Ever Tell You I’m In Love With Your Girlfriend” is a prime example of sweet twee beta male pop rock). And I loved their first record, “Good Morning, Beautiful”.
This reminds me of that. A lot. And the Monkees.
